I feel quite amazed that in 2011 I am adding a feature about the "first Certified Organic Range for Men" How did the guys get skipped over in the toiletries industry? I have been using organic products for long enough that I cannot remember when I started to.
It feels like its a decade at least too late but thank goodness that men who want a chemical free range for their skin now have it from Green People.
I was sent the aptly named Good to Go range, the packaging is fitting for a travel set, looking like an atlas on the outer packaging.
The products themselves encased in masculine black tubes.
Chris has been in the bathroom and trialled them with Conor who just grabs anything and uses it and the verdicts been good.
Chris chose the 'Scrub it' exfoliator as his favourite of the four, he said it left his skin feeling calm before using a razor and made for a cleaner shave.
The 'Itch away' shampoo - really seemed to be the most noticeable from my point. Chris's hair seemed cleaner somehow, nourished and he liked the scent as did I.
The 'Shave now' wash + shave did exactly as it promised provided a less burning shave and seemed to invigorate his skin he said.
Finally the 'Cool style' shower wash was a lovely refreshing and lifting scent, felt good on the skin, I know as I pinched some. Its really good stuff and it would be a lovely kit to take away this year on holiday.
Perfect for a Fathers Day present that will certainly get "borrowed"
Junky Styling have created a bespoke wash bag to celebrate the new, limited edition 'Good To Go' Organic Homme travel kit by organic pioneers, Green People. The joint project is a natural offspring by two fashionable companies with a shared stance on sustainability. The results are an understated, stylish addition to a man's green lifestyle, including ethically sourced, high performance travel-sized organic skincare essentials.
Self taught designers Annika Sanders and Kerry Seager founded Junky Styling in 1997. Inspired by the prevalence of recycling in San Francisco and Tokyo, and the resourceful people of Vietnam and Thailand, they set up the innovative design-led label using textiles sourced from the best quality second hand clothing.
The entrepreneurial spirit of '97 influenced Charlotte Vøhtz, the Founder of Green People, as well. She says ‘I met the founders of Junky Styling about four years ago, and loved both the people and the sustainable products they create. So, I wanted to be involved with them on a long term basis - the collaboration between Green People and Junky Styling is good for both of us, as we have a similar outlook, and enjoy making ethically sourced products that people love and need.’
Junky Styling add that ‘It is always a pleasure to work with Charlotte, as her energy is infectious and always positive. She has great input and we LOVE the products. We promote Green People with our logo on bags because they go so well together - while making sure not to be ‘greener than thou!’
Output in small, exclusive batches, the designer wash bags are lined with gorgeous ikat (a water resistant fabric in the livery colours of Organic Homme). They hold enough products to satisfy a gentleman's grooming needs, whether carrying large or airline approved 50mls.
Collect the limited edition 'Junky Styling Organic Homme Wash bag' and the fairly traded ‘Good To Go’ travel pack for just £35.00 when purchased together.
‘Good to Go' contains four hero products from the wider range, with pure, natural actives that work for all skin types (including sensitive and those prone to acne, eczema or psoriasis).
'Scrub it' exfoliator - Smooth your features with help from Bamboo Extract and Cranberry Powder to remove dead skin cells. Natural Clay draws out toxins and any skin impurities – all without stripping the skin’s natural oils. Fairly traded Shea Butter soothes the facial skin.
'Shave now' wash & shave - For the ultimate close shave try this 2-in-1 active face wash and shaving gel. It lifts the hair shaft to help prevent ‘razor burn’ and reduces nicks and cuts! Aloe Vera and Seaweed both condition to keep the skin, leaving a smooth and supple feeling!
'Cool style' shower wash - Energising and refreshing, this shower wash is perfect for waking you up in the morning and for use after sports. Made without SLS/SLES, Parabens, Phthalates and Artificial Fragrances to bring you the purest shower gel that nature can offer.
'Itch away' shampoo - Blow away an itchy, flaky scalp with this organic and natural shampoo made with Tea Tree and Pineapple Extract, to prevent any skin irritation and guard against any drying of the scalp.
Charlotte says; 'The average man uses 7-8 grooming products a day which may contain hundreds of different synthetic chemicals that can often cause irritations, blemishes and dry, flaky skin. Organic Homme is created exclusively to meet the everyday grooming needs of men and combines powerful organic and natural actives chosen for their soothing and calming properties – it’s just like organic food for the skin!
Green People believe in the value of Junky Styling's work and will continue to act as their sponsor throughout 2011. In addition we are proud to have been able to supply the Mineral makeup for recent catwalk shows in London, Paris and Milan.
If you are looking up certified organic treats for Fathers Day or are seeking an exclusive contemporary gift, this combo is a perfect winner – luxurious, sustainable and great for the skin.
